The longtime reliever noted his carb-deprived preparation for the show and called it “miserable” in a Twitter exchange with a fan.

Farnsworth, 46, compiled a 43-66 record, 4.26 ERA and 57 saves in 893 appearances as a journeyman. He last pitched for the Houston Astros in 2014.
Farnsworth promised to eat pizzaafterward and told a Cubs fan that he misses pitching in Chicago.
